Review of You People
Mainly grim "comedy" about relations between Black people and Jews in contemporary America, framed by a youngish Jewish man (who loves "the culture", meaning Black American culture) who accidentally meets and then falls in love with a young Afro-American woman. Then they introduce each other to their respective families and it all goes wrong - the Jewish family is painfully and awkwardly liberal, the Black family father is a follower of the antisemite Louis Farrakhan, and they break up before being re-united in an implausible fairy-tale reconciliation ending.
